VIDEO: Neil Young Tribute Band Rocks Out at The Meadows

It was another beautiful Wednesday evening at The Meadows as 'Forever Young' took the stage behind the . A couple hundred concert attendees lounged on blankets and in beach chairs as the Neil Young tribute band played hit after classic hit, from "Cinnamon Girl" to "Old Man."

The band is comprised of eight regional musicians, several of them award winners, who frequently play with other bands or as solo acts. The talented friends got together on a whim three years ago for a special gig at the Rhode Island Songwriters Association. It was such a hit they've been playing together ever since.

Becky Chace, guitar player and singer in 'Forever Young,' says because of their schedules and other commitments the band ends up playing only about eight shows per year. The audience seemed to appreciate the rare treat, egging the band to play beyond their alotted one hour slot. 

Chris, a woman from Bristol, who was enjoying the electric rock with her daughter and granddaughter said the music of Neil Young was part of the fabric of her life.

"I went to see them at The Met recently and I thought they were really cool. Just by chance I heard about this show and we had to come," she said.

The next free concert at The Meadows is Vini Ames and Sh-bop on Wednesday, Aug. 3 at 6:30 p.m.
